【推荐1】I’m Jason. Here’s what I did from June to August.

	In June, I went to Grandia, a beach in Valencia. I met a girl called Lara there. She told funny stories to make me laugh (笑). We had a wonderful time.
	In July, I went to Villalonga with my sisters. We put up our tents next to the River Serpis in the middle of the mountains. The views(风景) were very beautiful.
	In August, my parents and I went to London. I went there to learn English before. But it was my parents’ first time in London. We visited many interesting places. We had afternoon tea. I also visited my teachers when I was there.

【推荐2】International students studying in the UK

The UK has a long history of welcoming international students to study in its universities and colleges. For international students, choosing which university or college to go to is like a life-changing decision. Do as much research as possible so that you choose the right course for the right reason.

How to apply for higher education

All applications for higher education courses are made using our online application system, which is available 24 hours a day. You fill in the application form online and it does not need to be completed all at once. Please see the When to Apply page to check the dates by which we should receive your completed application.

Choosing a higher education course to study

Try to do a lot of research when deciding which courses to apply for. You will probably want to find out even more before you accept an offer of a place on a course. When you accept an offer of a place, make sure that all of your questions have been answered. Ask teachers if there is anything to prepare before the course starts. They may suggest that you read certain books on the course reading list or that you improve your computer skills.

Other help and advice

Some websites can help you to research subjects and universities before you decide where to apply. You can compare subjects, compare universities and explore useful information about getting a job after graduation. They can provide statistical (统计的) information on universities, colleges, subjects and teaching styles.
